mm/huge_memory.c: fix modifying of page protection by insert_pfn_pmd()
With some architectures like ppc64, set_pmd_at() cannot cope with a situation where there is already some (different) valid entry present. Use pmdp_set_access_flags() instead to modify the pfn which is built to deal with modifying existing PMD entries. This is similar to commit cae85cb8 ("mm/memory.c: fix modifying of page protection by insert_pfn()") We also do similar update w.r.t insert_pfn_pud eventhough ppc64 don't support pud pfn entries now. Without this patch we also see the below message in kernel log "BUG: non-zero pgtables_bytes on freeing mm:" Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190402115125.18803-1-aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com> Reported-by: Chandan Rajendra <chandan@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
